Echoes In My Heart

Heart Expressions

Kaliurang Tourism Park becomes the next tourist destination. The scenery around is very beautiful with many trees that grow towering, coupled with the view of the peak of Mount Merapi. Kaliurang has culinary that tastes good, apart from Jogja gudeg and bakpia, here there are culinary must try such as tempe jadah, klenyer rice and satay donal which will be a group dinner menu. After Kaliurang, the group returned to the hotel to rest, because tomorrow the last day and night will return to Bandung.

Echoes and teams return to their respective rooms to clean themselves and rest. In another room Alana had looked gloomy, she was still thinking about the togetherness of Gema, Mr. Asep and Rani earlier. He looked uninspired again, after bathing, he immediately laid down on the mattress and immediately fell asleep. Meta feels strange in Alana's attitude, he is so silent and reluctant to be invited to talk, he finally catches up with Alana sleeping.

In the morning they all left for the Jogjakarta Palace after breakfast. There are no tired faces from them, even more excited because tomorrow they have arrived in Bandung and returned to carrying out activities like before.

They toured the Keraton guided by a special courtier who was assigned to accompany tourists. They are fascinated by the traditional life that is still thick in the palace, especially in the clothes worn by all the courtiers. Two hours passed, the group headed to Taman Sari, historical and educational tours are again presented to the group.

The building belonging to the Sultanate of Yogyakarta is functioned as a tourist destination, but at a certain time it is still used as a ritual place by the royal family. With the shape of the Portuguese-Javanese architectural building became the main attraction, although the condition of the building is now no longer intact, but still emanated a strong aura of the building in this park. Very different effect with the Jogja Palace, because the building in Taman Sari prefers the bathing part that has the nickname “Air Palace Jogja.”

Around that bathing area, Alana still looked glum. He avoided many people and chose to stay in one corner of the building. Not even his family dared to ask what really happened to Alana. From the back, Rani approached Alana. He just wants to get to know more closely with the girl that Gema likes. Since Rani joined her father to the engagement event of Alka and Meta last week, she did not have time to say hello and even talk to Alana.

“Hai,” greet Rani while sitting next to Alana.

“Hai.” Alana answered briefly and reluctantly turned her head towards Rani.

“We haven't had time to get acquainted at that time, I'm Rani.”

“I Alana.” Alana shook Rani's hand while she brushed off her bitter smile.

“You okay Alana?”

“Iya I'm fine. I went there first yes.” Alana tries to avoid Rani, but Alana's hand is held by Rani. Alana is confused, actually what Rani wants. He is too lazy to talk to anyone right now.

“Wait for Alana, I want to talk to you for a minute. Sit back,” pinta Rani and Alana again sit next to him.

“I want you to know, from the first I really liked Mas Gema. I always seek attention from her, I want to be treated sweetly by her. But the more I get here, I feel like he just thinks of me like his own sister no more. Even when I found out she liked another girl, my heart did hurt, even more after I realized that I was in love alone. My affection is still there for Mas Gema, but I want him to be happy with his choice later. Now I want to make my Papa happy by accepting an arranged marriage with the son of his business partner. My dad said that all parents only want their children to be happy, especially after finding a mate. My sister is not ready to get married, my sister is still in college. I'm the only hope for my father to make him happy with me accepting his choice. My message to you Alana, never close your heart to a man who is kind and sincere in love with you. And then you'll know who he is. I excuse first because I have to go back to accompany the group,” said Rani at length and Alana can only sculpt after hearing Rani's statement just now.

“So all this time I've misunderstood the closeness of Gema and Rani. And now Rani succumbs for the happiness of her father and Gema. What should I do God?” Alana rubbed her face rough. He is eager to catch up with Rani, he wants to talk back to Rani. Maybe the time is not right for now.

“Alana.” Alka shouted from a distance calling out to her dreamy sister.

“Iya Kak, I'm there.” Alana got up from her seat and approached Alka and her family who were taking pictures. “What's up Brother?” alana asked with a breath of boredom because she was half running earlier.

“This photoin the four of us,” pinta Alka while handing the camera to Alana. They were deliberately bullying Alana. Until Alana could only grumble annoyed, she ran only to be asked to take pictures of her family.

“Sucks once anyway? Far away I ran around from the end there just to take their photo.” Alana swore in her heart. Then he took the right position to take pictures of his family. Suddenly he stepped on a small rock and almost slipped into the pool. Luckily Echoes that were behind Alana at that time immediately held Alana's body until Alana did not fall into the pool. Alka, Meta, Mr. Alex and Ms. Anne were half screaming as Alana was about to fall. Then they immediately smiled when they saw Gema was helping Alana.

Whether it had been countless times their eyes met again, the heartbeat sounded even firmer than before. At such times, Echoes think it may be time for him to express his true feelings. Alana let go of Gema's hand slowly, she wanted to thank Gema for helping her.

“Still Echo, you already nolongin me. If there is no you maybe I have been splashed in the pool,” said Alana immediately wanted to pass from before the Echoes. He could not wait to look at those beautiful eyes. Echoes did not answer, in an instant he held Alana's hand until it made Alana turn.

“Alana. There is something I want to say to you. In front of your Papa Mama, in front of Mas Alka and Kak Meta, and in front of everyone in Taman Sari this.” Alana's heart was beating so hard, she couldn't say anything. He felt Echoes trembling as he held his hand. Echoes continued, “I love you Alana, whether since when this feeling is present in my heart, but I am sure at this time with my feelings. I love you Alana, want you to accept me to be your lover?” echo with a vibrating voice.

“Gema, what are you doing? It's in front of a lot of people.” Alana held back the embarrassment because her face looked red. Everyone who saw the two of them were eagerly waiting for Alana's answer. No exception Mr. Alex, Miss Anne, Alka and Meta.

“My answer is Alana, do you love me too?” re-echo back.

“Gema, i...” Alana hung up her words.
